Red Steel lose three in a row

Port of Spain, Trinidad - The Jamaica Tallawahs overcame a late onslaught from the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel to win their second game of the Limacol Caribbean Premier League.

The win also heaped more pressure on the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, who remains winless after three games. On Wednesday night though, Dwayne Bravo would have felt he had only himself to blame as the Red Steel edged closer to crashing out of the tournament.

The highlight of the match came in the 19th over of the Jamaica Tallawahs innings when Bravo opted to bowl himself. Danza Hyatt struck the first six, followed by three from Vernon Philander in an over that cost 26 runs.

Before the over, the Tallawahs were 107/6. After the over, they were 133/6. It was little consolation in the end that Bravo struck a quick 29 runs from 24 balls to give the Red Steel some hope.

The Tallawahs never looked like getting past 120 though. Bravo had sent them in. Chris Gayle and Ahmed Shehzad took advantage of the Powerplay. It wasn’t bad bowling from the Red Steel all the time. Some of the shots were risky and paid off.
